Shortbread Dulce de Leche Chocolate Bars

by Karen on June 6, 2012

The combination of my three most favorite flavors all in one bar.  I’ve also heard them called Millionaire bars.  Either way it doesn’t get better than this.  The dulce de leche is soft and gewy, and the shortbread cookie is tender and sweet.  Top that with a quality chocolate and you have the best dessert bar imaginable.

When Christmas comes around every year my mouth starts to water for gingerbread anything.  Why do I wait until December to satisfy that craving?  Geez I don’t know……..So I decided to make gingersnaps the other day.   Yeah, and why not.  Summer is just around the corner and ginger can be refreshing on a hot day.    These are the softer [...]

Yep its National Chocolate Chip Day so it makes sense to post this recipe.  Here is the funny part.  I have no idea how I ended up with this recipe.  I think I got it from Jessie Oleson (Here is my video interview) over at Cakespy but I can’t remember since I have been baking these for [...]

Savory Pie Crust

by Karen on May 14, 2012

Recently I posted a recipe for sweet pastry dough that so many people have asked about.  Well hear is the savory version but just a little different.   I use Crisco for this recipe for a richer deeper flavor and a more caramelized crust.  If you don’t want to go there you can substitute butter it works just fine.  So [...]

Hands down the top-selling cupcake we made at the shop.   I would say that this is by far my most favorite cupcake.    When it is all say and done I’m a loyal chocolate lover to the core.   Given a choice I’ll choose chocolate every time. I suspect you’ll need a little practice to perfect this recipe, just [...]

Easy Citrus Glazed Cheesecake

by Karen on May 2, 2012

This post is really about my favorite glaze or topping.  It’s summery fresh while amazingly simple.  The flavors are complex and the recipe is versatile.   If you want it to be a little more runny,  just add a splash more liqueur or orange juice. Wish the glaze was thicker, add an extra spoon of apricot jam.  If you don’t have [...]

When I was a little girl my family would frequent malt shops as we traveled.  Back in the day, they were abundant.  Since my brothers raced these little cars all across the county, my family traveled to each race track via our big yellow motorhome.  Stopping at the local soda shop is what we did when [...]
